Description

1 1 1 1 1 1 I T', 2'201415 Ferroelectric liquid crvstalJ, This invention
relates to ferroelectric liquid crystals for the production of rapid switching displays having storage properties for the display of digits, symbols and images.
It is known to use ferroelectric liquid crystals for the production oL rapid switching displays having storage properties (N.A. Clark, S. TLagerwall, Appl. Phys. Lett..16, 899 (1980)).
The number of ferroelectric liquid crystal compounds has greatly increased in recent times, but there are still no pure substances possessing optimum properties-(S.T. Lagerwall, J. Wahl, N.A. Clark, Proceed. SID Symposium October 1985 San Diego USA; J.N. Goodby Science 231, 350 (1986), F. Dahl, S.T. Lagerwall, Ferroelectrics 58, 215 (1984), D. Demus, 1H. Zaschke, Fltssige Kristalle in Tabellen ("Liquid Crystals in Tables") II, Leipzig 1984).
Many ferroelectric liquid crystals are chemically and thermally not very stable, possess high melting temperatures or their spontaneous polarization is not sufficient. On account of the too small dipole moments andthe associated low spontaneous polarization, the derivatives of-the 2-methyl-butyl group and other chiral-branched alkyl chainsare unsuitable for practical use as a consequence of their too long switching, times.
01 1 Other ferroelectric liquid cli-ystals contain the azomethin grouping and as Schiff bases are not very stable against heat, moisture and acids. Some ferroelectric liquid crystals derived from chiral CL-chlorio carboxylib acids (J.-K. Goodby _et al, Proceed. of 1983 A.C.S. Meeting Las Vegas, Nevada 1982. Liquid Crystals and Ordered Fluids Volume 4 F 1) exhibit too high melting temperatures.
01 1 v C The obj.ective of the present invention is rapid switching displays having storage properties, which contain chemically and thermally stable ferroelectric Iiquid erystaliine substances.
The task of the invention is ferroelectric liquid crystals which can be used in rapid switching displays having storage properties.

In mixtures with one another and with other liquid crystalline substances or non-crystalline liquid substances, they form ferroelectrical crystalLine I'. quid; phas es; -.tnd ire -.biitalsle, for. uj,,-. n disp.lay,.
I, 1 1 1 p Y The substances are produced according to a method which itself is, known, f or example by esterif ication of. chiral d -halogen carboxylic acids: o. r their derivatives with corresponding hydroxy compounds, according to the following arrangement:

Other derivatives are produced by esterification with A -halogen -- carboxYlic acids or reaction with other chiral halogen alkyl derivatives.
As a consequence of the high dipole moments of the halogen alkyl derivatives, the substances possess a high spontaneous polarization and thus short switching times in optoelectronic displays.

After cooling of the solution to -30 0 Cv 2.13 X 10-3 mol (R)-(-)-3-chlorobutyryl chloride and 1.7 X 10-3 mol pyridine are added in succession with stirring. After stirring has been carried out for 10 minutes at -30 0 C. the reaction mixture Is left to stand for 2 days at -20 OG. The mixture is then added to 300 ml of ice-cold 5% hydrochloric acid.
If the ester precipitates out, suction-off is carried out and recrystallization is carried out from iethanol, hexane or benzene.
